“The elevator to success is out of order.
You’ll have to use the stairs… one step at a time.”
Joe Girard
I am Out of Order for Today
Call it
A writer’s block
Or a total lock
My mind just
Put up the sign
“Empty room
For hire”
I will not pine
Somewhere
The fire
Can be found
Lifting me
Off the ground
To unblock
I will catch
The hook
To unlock
My writer’s mind

“Breathe-in experience,
breathe-out poetry”
Muriel Rukeyser
Stuck Between a Poem and a Hard Place
I am a poet
But did not know it
Now I am writing
Lyrics without biting
The bullets
My mind to the fullest
Hammering the keyboard
Not a big chore
No, not anymore
Ever since I started
I cannot be parted
From the blank page
That clean slate
Words pouring
My heart roaring
I feel elevated
Totally animated
Full of excitement
I am completely and utterly
Lost in Poetry
A poem a day keeps the Shrink at bay!

“Complaining is easy,
writing is hard”
Gun Roswell
Write More, Complain Less
Why do I write?
Simply, because it feels right
If I did not write
The page would be quite white
Therefore, I continue to write
Write more, complain less!

“I’m a writer and, therefore,
automatically a suspicious character”
Alfred Hitchcock
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor, and a Writer
Looking into
A writers mind
You may phew
On what you find
Look in,
Carefully
Surprisingly
Lurking
Emerging
A
Tinker, Tailor,
Soldier, Sailor,
Rich Man, Poor Man,
Beggar Man, Thief
Peeping Tom, Stalker
Pervert, Prude
Sister, Brother
Loud Mouth, Mute
A
Antagonist
Protagonist
Killer, Saviour
Bad behaviour?
Winner, Looser
Coward, Hero
Or simply a Zero?
Storyteller, Liar
Truth teller, Denier
A questionable character?
Or just a clever Actor?
Psychopath,
Or, on a Path?
Writer, Politician, or a Crook?
Did I get you hooked?

“There is no sincerer love than the love of food”
George Bernard Shaw
Breakfast
Setup fashionably ornamental
At a breakfast intercontinental
A healthy feast most elemental

Champagne and Strawberries
Sparkly wine and berries of red
A celebration for the traveller
But also for the people of homestead

“There is no sincerer love than the love of food”
George Bernard Shaw
Snack Time
A meal most perfectly balanced
Rye bread, cheese and a plate of salad
Almost worthy of a ballad

Simple food for complex minds
The lunch break perfectly timed
Nothing unhealthy here will you find

Fruit
Fruit in trees
Fruit in a basket
Fruit, melting in your mouth

Aeroplane Meal
Crammed in multiple layers
Lettuce, cheese among the flavours
With compliments by the sandwich creator
